3 The Family Picnic My mom has four brothers and three sisters. It s a pretty large family. Each of them lives in a different city. They don t get to see each other very often. They keep in touch by phone and . I know that my mom really enjoys hearing from each of them. To make sure they actually get to see each other, they have a family picnic every two years. Uncle Jeff and Aunt Rose hosted the last picnic in their town. This year was my mom s turn. It s a big job getting so many people together in one place. My dad, two sisters, and I told her that we would do all we could to help out. We started planning about six months ago. The first thing we needed was a place for everyone to stay. Mom went to the inn. She booked twelve rooms for everyone. There are only fourteen rooms at the inn. Our family would almost fill the place! We also needed somewhere to have the picnic. Dad went to city hall to reserve Miller Park on the picnic date. He thought that Miller Park would be the best place to have the picnic. It has lots of tables outdoors and a covered patio. It also has an indoor area where people could go if it rained. We ve got to be prepared for the worst, Dad said. My parents decided to rent a ten-person van. This would help get people around on their visit. We made many trips to the airport with it once people started arriving. We also used it to bring people and food to the park for the picnic. Family members started arriving on Thursday. After getting settled at the inn, they came to our house. Everyone was so excited to see each other. This was the start of some great family fun. Everyone talked about the picnic all evening. People shared their favorite family recipes. I knew right then that there would be plenty of delicious food to enjoy. Jan, Ellen, and I had already planned the games and races for the picnic. We helped Mom get prizes for both the adult and children s games earlier in the week. All day Friday was spent grocery shopping and preparing the food. If anyone had stopped by, they might have thought we were starting a restaurant. Our kitchen was as busy as a beehive. It was great to see everyone helping out to make the picnic a success. By Saturday, everything was ready for the picnic. The food was terrific. It rained the whole time, but Dad s planning saved the day. We had to be indoors, but we still had a lot of fun. I hated to see it end. On Sunday, everyone started heading home. Mom had tears in her eyes as she said goodbye to each family member. I wish we didn t live far apart from each other, she told each of them. I will miss you. After everyone had left, I hugged my mom. I reminded her, At least we ve got a picnic to look forward to in two years. She hugged me back. She replied, You re right, Amy. I can always count on you to look at the bright side of things.

6 Where Do Animals Sleep? When night falls, most of us sleep snugly in our beds. But where do animals sleep? Many birds sleep in nests up in trees. A cactus wren makes its nest on a prickly cactus. Some baby penguins sleep in nests made of rocks. A baby swan often sleeps snuggled in the feathers on a parent s back. Some birds sleep sitting on branches. Their claws hold on tightly so they won t fall off. Bobwhites sleep in a big circle on the ground with other bobwhites. All of them face out. That way, they can watch for danger. A flamingo sleeps standing on one leg! Other animals sleep in nests, too. Many chimpanzees build nests out of branches and vines in the trees. Some kinds of squirrels also sleep in trees, in nests made of leaves. Young elephants sleep on the ground out in the open. First, an elephant gathers leaves and grass for a pillow. Then it lies down on its side, curls up its trunk, and puts the tip of the trunk inside its mouth. This keeps the insects out. When elephants get older, they sleep standing up. Some animals sleep upside down. Sloths hold on by their toes and hang upside down from branches. Bats hang upside down inside caves, trees, or even barns or attics. Some animals appear to sleep by staying very still. Butterflies sleep in the grass or on flowers with their wings pressed together to stay warm. Some bees sleep inside flowers or under leaves. Fish sleep with their eyes open because they have no eyelids. Some rest on the lake or sea bottom, and some bury themselves in the sand or mud. Dolphins sleep underwater or on the surface of the water, but they cannot sleep for long because they must come up for air. Sharks do not sleep at all. They rest by floating in one place until they are ready to move on. Bears sleep all winter long. They fatten up during the summer and prepare places to sleep under fallen trees or in caves. When a bear goes to sleep for the winter, the sleep is called hibernation. Other animals, such as rattlesnakes and frogs, also hibernate. Rattlesnakes sleep curled up with many other rattlesnakes in holes in rocks or in caves. Some frogs sleep buried in the mud at the bottom of ponds. Fish and mammals, insects and birds each creature on the planet has its own special place and special way to sleep. Sweet dreams! SP14R03XP 6 Go on to the next page.
